Chairmans report for Newburn AGM 9[th] September 2025

At the start of the 2024 – 2025 year the UMT in consultation with the Unit Commanding Officer set out the Aims and Objectives that they wished to achieve within the fiscal year. They were:

Finance .

Overheads control. To ensure we are only paying for the energy that is needed to operate the Unit Comfortably.

Building .

Reclad the garage roof and walls to stop the dampness that is prevalent in the stores.

Adjust the gutters to enable cleaning and reduce the amount of vegetation growth.

Cut back the trees that are overhanging the car parking area at the side of the building.

Replace the perimeter wall.

Replace the fire escape door in the wardroom with a steel door to reduce the water ingress and improve the security of the building

Replace the roofing above the office with a rubber system that will last 20 years.

Unit Management Team

Recruit new members of the UMT to replace outgoing treasurer and secretary

Dine out Victor Spong

Cadet experience .

Support the cadets financially to attend offshore voyages by giving assistance in travel costs.

Try to deliver and subsidise cadet experiences that would normally be out of reach.

I am pleased to state that all of the above were achieved and completed.

The Aims and objectives set out for the 2025 – 2026 are listed at the end and well underway.

During the year the training staff have been again phenomenal and on behalf of the UMT I would like to thank them for their total commitment in the delivery of the cadet training and participation in the many events that I am sure will be in the Commanding Officers report.

I would also like to thank all of the funders that so generously continue to support our Unit.

To the UMT thankyou for your support – you make the Chairmans role so much easier.
